Nice pics.

The radical shift was from the W140 to the W220.

I don't think so really. The W140 was really just a W126 taken the extreme. Even more tanklike, but much bigger. The W220 was smaller/lighter and really changed directions on interior design from the W140.

I think you misunderstood what I wrote. Some ESL classes might be in order.

That is a very great shot CYAWL8R.

I like the big grill the W221 has. They seemed to get smaller and smaller as they get newer, and its great to see them bigger.

Nice! The only thing wrong is that the W123 is not an S class. It is an E class. Anyways, that's an old W116 S class.
